Hmm... You know... when I read G06, about a HP leaving the HP pad too soon, the "team" will get a 10pt penalty. Then if it's serious, that "team" may be disabled and DQ'd.

In S05 rule, a robot may not impede the hand-offs of tetras, or the auto loading by field attendant, or the robot will be disabled, and DQ of the "alliance".

But.. in reading G15 with the no interfere rule, it does say that if a violation occurs, a 30pt penalty assessed to the "alliance"... they throw 3 separate flags (10pt ea).

There are some unclear penalty pt assessments in G13, G17, and G21. Just says a 10pt penalty will be thrown (for the respective violation), but doesn't say to team or alliance.

G22 says is the coach touches the controls, the robot will be disabled and "team" DQ'd.

There may need to be some clarification from FIRST on some of these and how they will deduct points and assess penalties in all cases.
